Cities across the US have torn down these controversial Confederate monuments

The Confederate figures: Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

What happened: In August, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a "review of all symbols of hate on city property." A closed Episcopal church soon removed two plaques honoring Lee, and Bronx Community College took down busts of Lee and Jackson.

Future plans: Several more memorials remain, including a number of street names that pay tribute to the Confederacy. As The New Yorker notes, it can be hard to get rid of Confederate monuments in the city if they are on private property. There are also powerful organizations, like the United Daughters of the Confederacy, that lobby to preserve them.

The Confederate figures: Confederate General Robert E. Lee along with the Confederate Soldiers Monument (known as "The Boys Who Wore Gray"), which memorialized the soldiers from Durham County who fought for the Confederacy.

What happened: Duke University removed a Lee statue from Duke Chapel in August 2017. Five days prior, protesters also toppled the Confederate Soldiers Monument, and now, eight of them face misdemeanor charges. On Monday, the charged protesters will appear in court, according to The Independent Weekly.

Future plans: North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has proposed relocating three more Confederate monuments outside the State Capitol to the Bentonville Battlefield Historic Site, according to a local CBS station.

The Confederate figures: Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson; Roger B. Taney, author of the Dred Scott decision.

What happened: Baltimore took down four monuments of the Confederacy in August. That same month, in Ellicott City, the Howard County Circuit Court building removed a memorial that bears the names of 92 Confederate soldiers.

Future plans: On February 5, the Baltimore City Council voted to rededicate a former Confederate site to Harriet Tubman, according to The Baltimore Sun. The city is also considering acquiring the Confederate statues, which are being stored in a public lot.

The Confederate figures: Johnny Reb, a character that represented the Confederacy; Confederate General Stonewall Jackson.

What happened: In July 2017, Orlando took down a Johnny Reb statue (which later went to a cemetery). A month later, Daytona Beach removed plaques commemorating Confederate soldiers. Around the same time, St. Petersburg removed a plaque recognizing Jackson, and Gainesville and Bradenton did away with two other Confederate monuments.

Future plans: There are at least 61 public spaces with Confederate monuments in Florida, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. In August 2017, the Florida League of Mayors started considering whether to keep individual memorials.

The Confederate figures: Confederate General and early KKK member Nathan Bedford Forrest; Confederate President Jefferson Davis; and Confederate Captain J. Harvey Mathes.

What happened: Two statues of Forrest and Davis were ousted from downtown Memphis parks in December 2017, according to The Commercial Appeal. A bust honoring Mathes was also removed from a park.

Future plans: Tennessee House Republicans have launched an investigation into whether the city violated any laws by removing the monuments. There is also a discussion about moving the graves of Forrest and his wife (which are in a Memphis park) back to New Jersey's Elmwood Cemetery, where they were initially buried.

The Confederate figures: Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, William L. Cabell, and Albert Johnston; Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

What happened: From August to December 2017, Dallas' Confederate War Memorial — comprised of four statues and five inscriptions — was removed piece-by-piece from Pioneer Park Cemetery near the Dallas Convention Center. In November, Robert E. Lee Elementary was renamed after Alice Moore Alexander (the name of a local black teacher). The change will officially take effect in the fall.

Future plans: The city will change the names of three other elementary schools named after Cabell, Jackson, and Johnston as well. The schools will institute the new names by fall 2018.

The Confederate figures: Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Albert Sidney Johnston; and John Reagan, head of the Confederate States of America Post-office Department

What happened: The University of Texas at Austin removed three Confederate statues from a prominent grassy plaza, The Texas Tribune reported.

Future plans: In 2017, the Austin City Council began the process of renaming Robert E. Lee Road after Azie Taylor Morton, an Austin native and the only black woman to serve as US treasurer, according to KXAN.

The Confederate figures: Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

What happened: After a contentious series of hearings, the city voted to remove a Jackson statue from a park, according to NBC.

Future plans: Charlottesville is still deciding whether to take down a Lee statue, which was the center of the white nationalist Unite the Right rally last August. In the meantime, officials have covered the monument with a black tarp.
